Bi-directional shared tree is an efficient routing scheme for interactive multicast applications with multiple sources. Given the open-group IP multicast service model, it is impor...
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) consist of small self-contained devices with computational, sensing and wireless communication capabilities. They allow flexible, powerful, tetherles...
We consider a communication network with fixed routing that can accommodate multiple service classes, differing in bandwidth requirements, demand pattern, call duration, and routin...
— Traditional SLAs, defined by average delay or packet loss, often camouflage the instantaneous performance perceived by end-users. We define a set of metrics for service avai...
Abstract— This paper investigates the reliability of applicationlevel multicast based on a distributed hash table (DHT) in a highly dynamic network. Using a node residual lifetim...
